They recently turned over its renovation project for the historic Diocesan Shrine of the Immaculate Conception of Mary in Naic, Cavite. The said church is the largest in the said province.
“We cannot allow this historic church to go into disrepair because it had not only strengthened the Filipino faith but also stands as a mute witness to the martyrdom of the defenders of Philippine freedom and nationhood,” said Alexander Wongchuking, the foundation’s executive director
The said project with the help of Mighty Corp was started in June 2013 and completed last month. The turnover was held yesterday, March 30.
Meanwhile, Wongchuking said the church had always been near to the hearts of his family and board officers of the foundation and members since Nelia Dy Wongchuking, its president and chairman of the board, was born in Naic and traces her roots to the town and its church.
“Our project aims to maintain the original structure, essence and sanctity of the church,” said James Navarette, general manager of Wongchuking Foundation.
“At first, the foundation focused on repairing the church’s roof and ceiling. But Mrs. Wongchuking heard of the personal project of Fr. Virgilio Saenz-Mendoza, the parish priest, and the people of Naic to refurbish the outer walls of the church,” Navarette added.
Mighty Corp’s foundation implemented church roof and ceiling repair from August to December 2012. They also supports educational programs and projects, funded the renovation of the social hall and three classrooms of Naic Elementary School.
